Labels from Freedom EP by Macho

This song is sure to raise questions and start rumors in the Christian hip hop community. No doubt, there's gonna be talk about beef between Macho and Uprok - but that's not the case. As a matter of fact Plastic and I discussed the track and we're cool. Here is an excerpt of our email: (Macho) Just to be clear it was not my intention to blast you, but I wrote what I felt at the moment and after listening to the song 5 or 6 times after your email, I don't feel that I was out of line. I believe that I am shedding light on a truth and that truth is that the industry is not designed for the artist and also that as an artist I felt unappreciated, hence ”they could care less about my words, don't give a second thought to my art” (petty as that may be, it was still my feeling) (Josh) I really felt that line and definitely agree. To make sure I'm communicating clearly, I don't feel explicitly on 'blast' but it can appear so when hearing stuff like 'Uprok sucks' because for most people, they aren't able to make a differentiation between the Way tooth and nail works and how that trickled down. (Macho) I was speaking about the record industry as a whole in general and I made reference to Tooth&Nail as well as Uprok because #1 it was with you guys that I had my first industry experience and #2 it was just a lyrical word play and not the focus of the song. In all of my interviews I have purposely stated that our time with Uprok and Tooth&Nail was a good experience for us for different reasons and we were done with our contract so it was time to move on.
